What does merit selection mean?
Merit selection – ie, selection on merit – is NSW Government policy. This means we employ staff after advertising the vacancy and reviewing all the applications received. From the applications received, we will select the person whose skills, knowledge, personal qualities and experience best match the job requirements (using selection criteria). We use different tools and techniques -such as written applications, interviews and/or work-sample tests, and referee information – to collect the evidence we need to make a merit-based decision. Go to Merit Selection for more information.
